Hi Anonymous,
September 10, 2010 - 12:49pmAnytime you have unprotected sex you risk getting pregnant. If you miss birth control and don't use a backup method like condoms or spermicide, or some other form of birth control, you are putting yourself at risk. Sex should be fun and not stressful. Protect yourself ahead of time. Either abstain from intercourse on those days you can't take your birth control, or use a backup method. If you miss pills, you need to use a backup method at least for a week after, or for the rest of your pack of pills. Here is an article I wrote about it, check it out:

Hope it helps.

I had sex today.
Two tadys ago i was about 9-10 hours late taking my pill. Usually through the summer i have been taking it around 11 or 12. But i took it at around 9:30 ish.
We did not use any other protection & he ejaculated inside of me. I am on Yaz birthcontrol & worried. Today is the first day i would start ovulating. Should i be worried?

I don't think you need to worry if you've been taking your pills every day. A few hours should not make that big a difference.
Good luck.

Hi. I'm on Ocella now and I was supposed to start my new pack on Sunday, but unfortunately the pharmacy closed early and didn't open today due to Labor Day. So, I've missed 2 days and had unprotected sex during these two days. Is there a chance I might have gotten pregnant?

Any time you have unprotected sex you risk pregnancy, so the answer is yes, there is a chance.
If you miss your period, you can take a home pregnancy test the following week. I suggest using condoms for a few weeks.

Yes that is correct if I remember correctly. I may have missed two active pills week 3.

Hi Question Mark,
If I understand correcty, you missed one Active Pill (the last of week 3) and some of Week 4 which would be the 'sugar pills'?
Am I reading this correctly?
